Discover how our technology empowers public safety teams and emergency responders to save lives, improve outcomes, and stay ready for the unexpected.
Canada’s diverse terrain and harsh weather make ground search and rescue (GSAR) operations extremely challenging. Traditional approaches often relied on disconnected tools and manual tracking, leading to costly delays and miscommunication.
Our Solution:
CounterCrisis Tech deployed the IC4W platform to power the GSAR Incident Command System (GSAR-ICS), bringing together field and command staff on a single, real-time cloud solution.
Impact:
– Unified Command: Seamlessly connected field teams, search managers, and incident command for better operational oversight.
– Real-Time Visibility: All stakeholders can instantly track resources, search progress, and responder locations.
– Efficiency Gains: Automated documentation and reporting reduced paperwork, enabling rescuers to focus on saving lives.
– Scalable and Mobile: Responders accessed the system via mobile devices, even in remote environments.
The result:
Faster searches, improved safety for responders, and more potential lives saved.
During major events, the Canadian Red Cross coordinates complex logistics and rapid response efforts—often across multiple locations and agencies. In the past, lack of integration between systems made it difficult to maintain a clear, common operating picture.
Our Solution:
CounterCrisis Tech implemented the Event Surveillance & Coordination System (ESCS) using the IC4W platform, delivering a fully integrated, real-time command environment.
Impact:
– Centralized Data: All event data, responder locations, and incident updates flowed into a single dashboard.
– Enhanced Coordination: Volunteers and leadership had instant access to the same information, improving teamwork and response times.
– Rapid Decision-Making: Dynamic mapping and analytics enabled faster, evidence-based decisions during evolving events.
– Seamless Collaboration: The system facilitated communication between Red Cross teams and partner agencies.
The result:
This transformation empowers the Canadian Red Cross to protect more people, deploy resources with confidence, and ensure every responder’s safety.
